If you live in Long Beach, CA, and have a pet that needs veterinary care, you can bring them to our team at Bixby Animal Clinic. Our veterinary team at our animal hospital is here to help your pet get and stay healthy.
We're glad to offer a wide range of services at our animal clinic. Here are some of the services we offer:
Think of this as being like a yearly physical for your pet. We may check everything from their weight, to their teeth, to their blood work. As they get older and enter their senior years, we might want to see them twice a year to monitor their health more closely.
Bixby Animal Clinic offers same-day walk-ins and urgent care. We're here for any pet emergencies and the in-between moments when it's not quite an emergency and you can't afford to wait for a regular veterinarian appointment. Urgent care is offered Monday to Friday from 8 am to 8 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 8 am to 4 pm. In order to better serve you and your pet in an efficient manner, we take our cases based on the severity of the pet's health and the availability of the doctor's schedule.
For immediate urgent care services for your furry friend, contact Bixby Animal Clinic in Long Beach at (562) 426-4066.
This is another important part of keeping your pet healthy. Vaccinations can help avoid costly treatments for preventable diseases. Up to date vaccinations protect your pet year round from life-threatening diseases such as rabies and distemper. Vaccinations also prevent the spread of some diseases that can be passed between animals and humans, which is why it’s recommended to also vaccinate indoor pets.
Our team will closely monitor and clean your pet's teeth and gums to keep them healthy and looking great. Most dogs and cats without regular dental care have some form of dental or gum disease by the time they are three years old. Gum disease can result in more than just lost teeth. It can cause worsening dental disease, oral pain, and in severe cases, organ damage from the bacteria in tartar spreading into the bloodstream. Our team can assess your pet’s level of dental health and provide your fur baby with a deep dental cleaning to ensure your pet’s teeth are tartar free above and below the gumline.
Fleas and ticks can carry harmful diseases and can diminish your pet’s quality of life. We can help keep these dangerous pests away by using different types of preventative care.
Spaying and neutering your pet may be one of the most important choices you make that affects their long term health. When you spay your female pet, you are lessening their chance of developing pyometra (a potentially fatal uterine infection), uterine, mammary, and other cancers of the reproductive system. When you neuter your male pet, you are lessening their risk of testicular cancer and prostatic hyperplasia, which can affect the ability to defecate.
Secondary benefits to spaying/neutering your pet are you also prevent many unwanted behaviors, including aggressive behavior, excessive barking, excessive yowling/vocalizing, mounting activity, roaming, and urinating around the house. Typically, the longer one waits, the less effective surgery will be in preventing behavioral issues, as the pet may have already reinforced the bad habit. Talk to your veterinarian to determine the best time to spay/neuter your pet.
Other services we offer include urgent care, x-rays, ultrasounds, in-house diagnostics and bloodwork, geriatric pet care, and private euthanasia. Let us help you and your pet the best way that we can.
